The M cars are significantly underrated in our testing to the tune of about 10-15%. All the other cars are pretty close in line to their rated power however. Although the torque tends to be understated on all the cars to varying degrees.

That is, and will always be the Dinan Mantra. "Performance without sacrifice" has been one of our tagline since the beginning for a reason.

Well it was a huge improvement in every aspect over my '12 X5M. The power, handling, suspension ride, tech, seats and just about everything was a sizeable leap. My takeaway from the test drive was not "this thing needs more power" but then again you can never have too much....

The E7x chassis to the F8x chassis was a noticeable leap in power not only in overall power but in delivery as well. The new version is hands down superior to the old. Not many times I would ever say that but in this case I find it hard to argue.
